单词 | Forms of action |
释义 | 訴訟形式 Formerly the theories of liability recognised by the common law. Failure to choose the proper theory and appropriate procedure or forms of action could result in being thrown out of court: White v GW Ry (1857) 2 CB (NS) 7. A plaintiff could not later amend the pleadings to conform to another theory of liability. Depending on the relief sought, a plaintiff could choose among real actions, which were brought to recover real property; mixed actions, which were brought to recover real property and damages for injury to it; or personal actions, which were brought to recover debts or personal property, or personal injury. The common law actions are usually considered to be trespass, trespass on the case, trover, ejectment, detinue, replevin, debt, covenant, account, special assumpsit and general assumpsit. These all now fall under the heading of civil action. Pleadings are now statements of the facts which the pleading party deems material to the case. It is unnecessary to choose the form of action as it was previously. To state what form the party’s action is in now is to state a conclusion of law: Shaw v Shaw [1954] 2 QB 429. See also Common law; Common law jurisdiction; Private civil action. 先前普通法承認的法律責任理論。如未能選擇適當的理論及適當的法律程序或訴訟形式,則可導致被法院拒絕:White v GW Ry (1857) 2 CB (NS) 7。原告其後可修改有關的狀書以符合另一法律責任的理論。取決於所尋求的濟助,原告可選擇其中一項下列的訴訟:提出以追討土地財產的土地訴訟;提出以追討土地財產及其損害的損害賠償的混合訴訟;或提出以追討債務、非土地財產或人身傷害的個人訴訟。普通法的訴訟通常被視為屬於侵入、侵權訴訟、強迫離開、要求歸還扣留物的訴訟、追回原物、債務、契諾、清算帳目、特別承諾和一般承諾。現時全部屬於民事訴訟的項目。狀書現時指事實的陳述,申索的一方視之為對有關案件是具關鍵性的。無需選擇有關的訴訟形式,可依循過往的形式。呈述有關一現時的訴訟形式即呈述法律上的結論:Shaw v Shaw [1954] 2 QB 429. 另見 Common law; Common law jurisdiction; Private civil action。 |
